Kathryn Janeway is captain of the USS Voyager. From the evidence, she appears to love making her crew suffer.

She got them stranded in the delta quadrant by destroying the Caretaker array. Apparently she has never heard of setting a timer on a bomb.[1]

She let Neelix on board and appointed him "morale officer," in spite of him knowing virtually nothing about humans or any other race on the ship.[2]

Upon initial contact with the Vidiians, she allowed the organ harvesters to go free without any punishment what-so-ever, thus ensuring that other Vidiians would regard her ship was easy prey.[3]

She formed an alliance with the Borg, even though everyone on the ship (even Neelix) told her it was a terrible idea. She didn't even bother to find out who started the conflict between the Borg and S8472.[4] Unsurprisingly, the Borg betrayed the alliance the moment the threat of S8472 passed.

She is proof that Q is either retarded or blind as he wanted her to be the mother of his new Q child.[5]

She also has regularly ignored the Prime directive, interfering with many civilizations along their journey home. About the only time she does obey the directive is if the civilization in question is about to be completely obliterated. In that case, she mindlessly adheres to it.[6]

Sometime after returning to Earth, Starfleet promoted her to admiral, demonstrating promotion in Starfleet is based on incompetence rather than ability.[7]

...Janeway made it clear the only reason they were staying behind was because she didn't want to risk the Ocampa. All other reasons stumble in front of this point: it means that faced with a crew desperate to get home and a woman liable to literally attack her for this decision, she chose the weakest possible argument to give them that said 'We could, but we won't' instead of 'It just won't work.' This is because Jeri Taylor was involved, and Janeway had to do it for reasons of pure nobility rather than because it made sense.

This episode is once again about Janeway the Mary Sue. First we have this Harlequin thing going on down on the planet as she strives to find a cure while tempted by the chiseled native. Up on the ship, it's all about how much everyone misses them, even after months. I don't remember everyone being this upset for this long when Paris left. I don't remember anyone being this choked up over the many people who've died out here for this long. Just like in Alliances when Torres suddenly snaps at anyone who questions the captain while she herself had done so just the episode before, Jeri Taylor presumes an importance about Janeway that just doesn't fit with what we've actually seen. Remember that this is a person who just last week killed a member of the crew! Also, recall "The Best Of Both Worlds", in which Picard was taken from them, and Riker gives the order to destroy the (Borg) ship anyway - except for the guest star, none of the crew tries anything to stand in Riker's way, and this from a crew that knew Picard for far longer. This story is just way too transparent in its "Everybody Love Janeway" plot.
